For that there is far more profit for him personally in injustice than in
justice is what every man believes, and believes truly, as the proponent of
this theory will maintain. For if anyone who had got such a licence within
his grasp should refuse to do any wrong or lay his hands on others'

their fear of suffering injustice. So much for this point.
